More quotes by George MacDonald

George MacDonald
If you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)
George MacDonald
Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood. . . . Doubts must precede every deeper assurance for uncertainties are what we first see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored, unannexed.

George MacDonald
People must not choose their neighbors they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.
George MacDonald
Were I asked, what is a fairytale? I should reply, Read Undine: that is a fairytale.
George MacDonald
The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.
George MacDonald
God Himself - His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home.
George MacDonald
Primarily, God is not bound to punish sin he is bound to destroy sin. The only vengeance worth having on sin is to make the sinner himself its executioner.
George MacDonald
I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.
George MacDonald
The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law it is fully come when God's will is our will.
George MacDonald
Philosophy is really homesickness.
George MacDonald
There is this difference between the growth of some human beings and that of others: in the one case it is a continuous dying, in the other a continuous resurrection.
George MacDonald
Oh the folly of any mind that would explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?
